Objective: I can determine the author’s purpose in “Some Girls Can’t go to School” by writing the main idea after each paragraph. Today, students completed a reading comprehension activity from the book "If the World were a Village," examining education and literacy in the world. We then read the Achieve3000 article “Some Girls Can’t Go to School," typing the main idea after each paragraph to help determine the author's prupose. Warm-up: Write these questions on your paper: 1. How many children get to attend school? 2. How many adult men cannot read? 3. How many adult women cannot read? I read page 21 from the book to the class.
